British report: 700,000 migrants piling up in Libya
waiting for their chance to jump to Europe, by Ann Corcoran 7/9/18.
So where are these impoverished people from all over Africa and the Middle East (Central America too!) getting gobs of cash to pay traffickers?
The main sources for migrants into Europe are Libya, Ethiopia, Sudan, Niger and Afghanistan. Mr. Dowdall said that smugglers collectively make up to £6billion a year charging would-be migrants. A single boat from Africa to Europe can net them up to £300,000 [roughly $397,000—ed]. More here.
What happened to investigative reporting? How do poor Africans have that kind of money????
Invasion of Europe news…..I should have posted this yesterday, but it doesn’t matter
if the news is a bit old. The major point I want to make with this post
is this (something that no one seems to want to get the answer to):
Where
are the investigators trying to find that answer because that answer, whatever
it is, could potentially bring down the whole scam.
I
have some ideas, and you probably do as well, but why doesn’t anyone (who could
actually do something about it) ever seem to want the answer. Or, do they know,
and they don’t want us to know!
From
the UK Express: ‘Italy has caused a MELTDOWN’ 700,000 migrants waiting to
cross into Europe from Libya
A BOTTLENECK of 700,000 migrants is waiting in Libya to cross the
Mediterranean to Europe, the National Crime Agency has said. The number – greater than the population
of Leicester – highlights the difficulties facing the EU in controlling
migrants seeking a new life in Europe.
Senior
members of the NCA, dubbed Britain’s FBI, revealed the figures as they detailed
the increasingly tough battle they face to stop people smugglers.
NCA
directors warned of a sharp rise in attempted illegal sea crossings from Africa
to Europe this year, with 300 people drowning last week.
Migrants
are then crossing Europe and using increasingly devious ways to evade
detection, including hiding in “coffin-sized” secret compartments in vehicles.
Tom
Dowdall, NCA deputy director of organized immigration crime, said the problem
was growing. Attempted crossings to Greece and Turkey are up by 47 per cent on
last year, with those to Spain and Italy up by 75 per cent.
They
have not reached the peak levels of 2015, caused after Mrs Merkel made a
controversial decision to open Germany’s borders and allow a million refugees
in.
Mr Dowdall said: “The activity by the Italian Republic has caused a
meltdown in Libya, creating a bottleneck. There are about 700,000 migrants in
Libya and this is making it more difficult for them to move out.”
Chris
Hogben, NCA head of operations for organized immigration crime, said rescue
boats manned by non-governmental organizations were inadvertently aiding people
smugglers.
The NGOs are supposed to rescue people once they are more than 12 miles
from the Libyan coast, but come in much closer, he said.
He
said: “They make it easier for the crime groups who now send a boat with not
enough fuel on purpose as they know they will be picked up.”
